If you are grabbing quick bites, I recommend non-Carrefour brand prepped cold sandwiches if are not looking for just the cheapest thing there. Their hot food, I would pass.

Brussels is an expensive city for the budget traveler. Besides getting fries and waffle,…read moreeverything else would cost a pretty penny. Don't despair, Carrefour is in town. This is a great market to pick up your water, beer, sauces, chocolate. I was staying nearby at the Dominican and picked up water, chips and several different of Belgian beer for my room. Chimay. Duvel, Westmalle, Rochefort Brewery etc. This is a two story market with narrow aisles. Get lost in the aisles and discover some great Belgium finds.

So convenient to have this shop at the airport, even if the location is sort of tucked away, so…read moreunless you know about it, you are unlikely to find it. The number of times I gave been able to find a better selection (and way cheaper price-wise too!) of sandwich and drinks here rather than any of the stores in the airport terminal, it's helped me both enjoy my food and not pay super exorbitant airport food prices. That's not to say this place is as cheap as my local Delhaize, but it is cheaper than the airport terminal options with a better variety too. I also stop here to grab emergency milk, bread, eggs if arriving on the weekend or late at night as most local grocery stores are closed then. Service is pretty okay- it's mostly manned by young teenagers and the majority of them speak English.

It's now going to be my favorite place to go when I go to Belgium. The cheap prices really helped out to even my travel expenditures. Be sure to bring your own baggie! They charge .5 cents for a plastic grocery bag. Cheers!
